Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a rail transit signal system, and in particular to a detection and protection method, device and medium for unexpected train movement in a TACS system. Background Art
[0002] At present, the number of Train Autonomous Circumambulate Systems (TACS) based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication in urban rail transit signal systems has gradually increased. Compared with the centralized trackside resource management method that relies on interlocking to manage routes in the traditional CBTC signal system, the TACS system adopts a distributed resource management method of multi-train parallel autonomous computing. In the TACS system, the train management subsystem autonomously plans the demand for trackside resources based on the train operation tasks issued by the dispatching management subsystem. In the process of controlling the automatic operation of the train, it selects the opportunity to apply for resources from the trackside resource manager based on the train operation status and planned operation curve, and uses and releases resources after obtaining allocation. Thanks to the detailed management of resources, this resource management method of on-demand application and on-demand use enables the TACS system to make more efficient use of resources on the line under high traffic density to improve the operation efficiency of the system.
[0003] Under normal circumstances, each control object in the TACS system operates under the premise of complying with its own commitments. Without violating the commitments, each control object can be "constrained" within the area of its commitments, and the system can ensure the safe operation of the control object. However, from the perspective of reliability, the control objects of the system cannot always guarantee to operate in accordance with their commitments. Due to the unpredictability of the violation itself (for example: the driver runs a red light, the train slips backwards, the EB guarantee rate cannot be guaranteed, the turnout is not close together, etc.), when the control object exhibits unexpected behavior, if the system does not immediately take protective measures, it may lead to safety accidents.
[0004] After searching, Chinese patent publication number CN117184181A discloses a method, device and medium for processing multi-dimensional positioning information of manual vehicles. The method calculates the precise positioning information of manual vehicles based on multi-dimensional positioning elements and sends it to the automatic train monitoring system ATS to assist the dispatching system in obtaining the real-time moving position of the train when the trackside train controller WTC controls the train. The multi-dimensional positioning elements include repositioning, re-education, expected movement authorization and unexpected movement authorization. However, the existing patent identifies unexpected movement behavior by reading beacons. This method has low real-time detection of unexpected movement behavior and cannot realize unexpected movement of different types of trains, resulting in poor system security and other problems. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a high-safety and high-availability method, device and medium for detecting and protecting against unexpected train movement in a TACS system.

[0010] Step S3, the trackside resource manager WRC sends the turnout position information of the turnout set P1 to the onboard controller CC;
[0011] Step S4, the onboard controller CC determines whether the train has unexpected behavior, if yes, executes step S5, otherwise returns to step S1;
[0012] Step S5: The onboard controller CC and the trackside resource manager WRC provide safety protection for the train.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the demarcation of the area Z1 in step S1 is specifically as follows:
[0014] The onboard controller CC estimates all possible occupied areas Z1 after the train moves unexpectedly based on the train positioning information in the most unfavorable case.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution, in step S4, the carrier controller CC calculates whether the train has unexpected behavior based on the accumulated displacement of the train.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the unexpected behavior in step S4 includes whether the cumulative displacement direction conflicts with the safety assurance direction, whether the cumulative displacement per unit time exceeds the maximum allowable speed, and whether the train positioning exceeds the safety protection envelope.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution, in step S5, the onboard controller CC applies emergency braking to the train and turns off the permission signal applied for by the train.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution, in step S5, the onboard controller CC calculates the area Z2 that may be occupied by the train after unexpected movement according to the turnout positions of the turnout set S1.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution, the onboard controller CC reports the scope of the area Z2 to the trackside resource manager WRC.
[0020] As a preferred technical solution, the trackside resource manager WRC protects the area Z2 and prohibits system authorization in this area.
[0021] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic device, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein a computer program is stored in the memory, and the method described above is implemented when the processor executes the program.
[0022] According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the program implements the method described above when executed by a processor.
